Turf Types

Bahia

Bahia grass is widely used in Florida for forage (pastures) and as turfgrass for roadways and medians, as it is an inexpensive, durable grass which can survive without supplemental irrigation or fertilization. Open growth habit which can make weeds an issue; many types produce tall seed heads; will go dormant in cool and/or dry weather, resulting in brown or pale turf.

Bermuda

Most bermudagrasses produced in Florida are utilized on golf courses and other sports turf applications (baseball, football, soccer and polo). However, some varieties are also suited for home lawns. In some areas of the state, common bermudagrass is widely used on roadsides and similar applications.
